What is SKOS?

SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) is a W3C standard for representing knowledge organization systems (KOS) such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, and other types of controlled vocabularies. It provides a standard way to model and share these KOS using RDF (Resource Description Framework). SKOS is commonly used to structure and organize data for improved search, discovery, and interoperability, especially in the Semantic Web context.
